I’m really excited to share with you one of College Prepster’s newest sponsors. I’ve known about Chloe + Isabel for a while (and even worked with one of their merchandisers way back when). It’s been really incredible to see how the company has evolved and grown over the years.
One of the cool things about Chloe + Isabel is that it’s a company dedicating to helping women establish their own little businesses. Chantel Waterbury started Chloe +Isabel to give young women an opportunity to build their resume and their bank account in the fashion industry. She paid her way through college in direct sales and made her career working with industry’s heavyweights like LVMH, Target, Gap, and Macys. Because of her experience, she is passionate about offering financial opportunities for college aged women and loves to watch them grow into whatever career path they choose.
There is a specific program for college students. It’s a fun and flexible opportunity in the fashion industry with special team dedicated to college students so you always have a team behind you to help you be as successful as possible.
Chloe + Isabel’s GEM program is dedicated exclusively to college aged women and provides added training and focus on building resumes for young women who want to launch their career in a meaningful way. Campus Merchandisers learn how to run their own on-line and in person business gaining experience in sales, marketing, social media, customer service and more.
A few perks of the program:
Make 30% commission on all personal sales
Earn unlimited free jewelry
Shop the jewelry collection at 30-50% off
Create your own personalized e-boutique
Get access to corporate internships and letters of recognition for C+I executives
You can use your own blog and use social media network to promote their jewelry business.
Merchandisers build your resume through Chloe + Isabel training academy which teaches marketing, sales, social media, networking and more.
I was just talking to a few interns/students in the city the other day about the importance of learning hard business skills while still in school. Even if you’re just doing something small, the lessons and principles you learn are invaluable. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in (well, almost)… business skills will always come in handy. There’s no better place to learn that than during college. Who knows what it could turn into! I always say how glad I am that I started my blog and ultimately my company while still in school. Everything I was learning in class was contextualized!
PS Chloe + Isabel represents two best friends and the notion that opposites attract. Chloe stands for the daring trendsetter and Isabel is classic and refined. How cute is that?
I'm so happy you posted about this great opportunity! I applied after I read about it and I got the job! Check out my online boutique if you ever need some adorable jewelry http://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/hmcresci
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep. Use code MOTHERSDAY15 for 15% off!
We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
What a great program!
